The Dominican Episcopate Conference (CED) yesterday urged lawmakers not to take “political and economic pressure for interests outside the Nation” to approve abortion on all three grounds.
“We urge them not to submit to the pressure of a politically and economically supported minority from interests that are alien to the Nation and that have a negative impact on some sectors of national life,” the bishops said through ‘a statement.
Appeal to the rulers and legislators elected to represent the people to defend the opinion of the majority who want life to be respected and defended. “Incorporating abortion into our legislation, in any circumstance, is a flagrant violation of the constitution and a blow to the social and democratic rule of law,” the CED argues.
He recalled that the Constitution stipulates that the State cannot apply the death penalty to even the worst offenders, as it states: “The death penalty may not be established, pronounced or applied, in any case.” , point out the bishops.
Referring to the case where the mother’s life is in danger, erroneously called “therapeutic abortion”, they cite that in medicine this term would mean “cure”, but in this case abortion is not a therapy or cure at all. no disease.
The bishops express that medical ethics points out that in the case of complications in pregnancy the efforts provided to save mother and child must be made, but never have as a way out the premeditated death of one of them.
rape
“Encouraging the mother to vent her frustration or anger by moving in revenge against her own child, only produces impacts of very negative outcomes and self-destructive attitudes in the mind,” they say about another of the causes.
“It is obvious that the heinous crime of rape is used to sensitize the public in favor of abortion, by presenting the child with the innocent fruit of a possible brutal conception as an aggressor,” they say.
Creatures with abnormalities
The bishops state in the statement that in cases of abortions due to a physical defect of the child or suspicion of himself, known as “eugenic abortion”, they consider that this is based on the false postulate that only “the healthy” they are the ones who have to establish the value criterion of when a life is worth it or not, after arguing that then there would be sufficient grounds to kill the already born disabled.
